By a million miles the best blackadder series of them all, Iove every episode, brilliant humour, I love the way they display the utter incompetence of the generals through Melchett, superbly played by Stephen Fry. It’s up there with porridge, fawlty towers and rising damp as the greatest comedy’s of all time.
This is soooo masterpiece. And if anyone deems that modern board members in enterprises are any different from the General - that’s… that’s a mistake.
Blackadder should have submitted a false report that the Germans spotted the pigeon and fired up a couple of rounds and one got lucky.
